How to Make R3 better than DIY

[dillonbladez]

the pizccn mod is not new. you're right. but the pizccn mod only takes care of those few lockups that are the edges fault. this mod changes the centres corners and edges. i've done the pizccn mod before, and it was good. changing the centres and corners should make my storebought even better.

Less plastic = lighter
Less plastic = spin faster
Less plastic = less chance of lockups?

Edit:
i've just done the mod! it's great and i can cut corners almost 45 degrees. (for a noob, this is all new lol) Also, way less lockups but, i've noticed, the edges are so much more prone to popping

What are you supposed to file off from the centers.BTW i don't exactly get which part of the edges are supposes to be filed.Can someone please explain.

 

[silentscreams]

I just did the mod
it makes spinning faster
however it still lockups alot
is there any fix? should i sand more?

 

[dillonbladez]

you know those bumps on the centres? if you run your finger along the centre, it's not flat. there's four bumps. that's what you need to sand down.

A video would be good.

I followed Dan Brown's advice and vaselined my cube. He's a smart guy, what can I say?

Note: This is about half true.

 

[SaberSlash49]

Vaseline slowly corrodes the plastic in your cube, so if you DO put it in, I'd put it in a very tight cube. Try and break it in as much as you can (7-12 days), insert vaseline, let your cube sit for 6-8 weeks, clean it VERY EXTREMELY THOUROUGHLY, two or three times, and do this repeatedly, for 1-3 days, to get maximum cleanliness. Then spray with silicone.

I personally don't use Vaseline anymore sheerly because of the risks, but it can help sometimes.

 

[NimbleFingers]

I used Vaseline and I plan on cleaning it out after I buy some Jig A Loo, but the thing is, I heard if you put in the silicone after you've lubed it with Vaseline, it slows down and mucks the cube up.

Oh well, it's only my Storebought. I should upgrade sometime, seeing as a Storebought's the only thing I've ever used.

My old storebought sure was muck after I siliconed+vasalined it.
Lemme tell you though.
This mod rocks. Nuff said,

 

[dillonbladez]

yeah... too bad the springs are horrible...

the springs are the same as c4Y, no? im sure they are. i disected one core already.

 

[hyunchoi98]

I was going to this mod and then bought a store bought.
but then the cube was great and i don't have to do the mod!!!

 

[dillonbladez]

lol, lucky.
i bet it can't cut corners, though. storeboughts suck at cutting corners. at least they have springs. i saw a cube that sucked, and had no springs.worse than dollar store.

 

[Jake Gouldon]

Just ask Dakota Harris how to make a storebought better than a DIY, he should know...

It actually cuts corners decently. Not as good as a DIY of course but it cuts corners.

Now give me something because you betted.

Supported.
This cut corners not as good as a DIY A/C, but a whole lot better than a normal one.
I wonder...what is PestVic applied this to his best out-of-the-box store bought?

 

[dillonbladez]

i'll give you 40,000,000 in play money, lol. jokes. i don't have that much.

pestvic had an awesome out of the box storebought.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

He could sub 10 with this mod.

 

[dillonbladez]

pestvic? if he could sub 10 with a storebought using this mod, he'll sub 8 maybe 7 maybe even 6 with a DIY. but i dont even know much about pestvic. what's his avg?

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

This mod shouldn't be applied to a DIY.
